Knee replacement surgery

Hello Vishal,

We're sorry to hear about your accident. We hope you're recovering well.

Firstly, based on your description — fractured ribs and fluid in the lung (possibly pleural effusion) — it's important to consider the following:

🔹 Questions for you:

• Have you been admitted to a hospital, or are you managing this at home?

• Are you experiencing difficulty in breathing, chest pain, or fever?

Based on general guidelines, here's the usual treatment and precautions:

🔹 Immediate Treatment:

• Pain Management: Adequate pain control is essential (usually with analgesics or sometimes nerve blocks) to allow proper breathing and avoid lung infections.

• Monitoring the Lung Fluid:

  • Small amounts of fluid may resolve on their own with observation.

  • Large or worsening fluid collections might need drainage (thoracentesis or chest tube insertion).

• Breathing Exercises: Deep breathing and incentive spirometry are recommended to prevent pneumonia and lung collapse.

🔹 Precautions for Healing:

• Avoid heavy lifting, sudden movements, or straining.

• Rest adequately, but do gentle breathing exercises daily.

• Monitor for signs of complications:

  • Increased chest pain

  • Difficulty in breathing

  • Fever (could indicate infection)

• Attend regular follow-ups and imaging as advised by your doctor.

🔹 General Recovery Plan:

• Rib fractures usually heal in 6–8 weeks.

• The fluid collection must initially be reassessed by imaging every few days.

• Physical therapy may be started once you are stable to maintain lung and chest wall function.

⚕️ Important:
If you feel increased breathlessness, sharp chest pain, a cough with blood, or fever, seek emergency medical attention immediately.

Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery! 🌟

Hello Syed ji,
Thank you for reaching out to the HexaHealth community.

Since Kidwai Cancer Hospital, Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, and St. John’s are government or charitable institutions, the cost of treatment — including surgeries — is usually heavily subsidised or offered at minimal charges. However, we won’t be able to help with the exact cost details for treatments in these hospitals, as they operate under different guidelines than private hospitals and may vary case by case.

If at any point you are exploring options in private hospitals or need assistance with treatment planning, second opinions, or cost estimates in such settings, the HexaHealth team is always here to help you.

Wishing you strength and good health ahead. 🙏

Namaskar Syed Abbas ji,

Aapne GCT (Giant Cell Tumor) ke baare mein jo bataya, usse related aapki chinta hum samajh sakte hain. GCT ek tarah ka bone tumour hota hai, jo zyadatar ghutne ke neeche (jaise tibia ya femur) develop hota hai.

Surgery kyun zaroori hoti hai?

GCT generally non-cancerous hota hai, lekin yeh aggressive tareeke se badh sakta hai aur bone ko weak kar sakta hai. Isliye doctors aksar surgery ki salah dete hain jisme tumour ko remove karke bone graft ya metal implant ka use kiya jata hai.

Surgery ki cost kya ho sakti hai?

Cost kai factors par depend karti hai jaise:

• Hospital ka type (Government, Private ya Trust)

• Surgery kitni complex hai

• Implant ya bone graft ka requirement

• Admission aur recovery ka duration

• Aapka health insurance cover karta hai ya nahi

• Medical loan ya EMI options available hain ya nahi

🔹 Aam taur par is surgery ki cost ₹80,000 se start ho sakti hai.
👉 Lekin exact cost sirf doctor ki consultation aur proper examination ke baad hi batayi ja sakti hai.
